Tues Feb.2
Ginger's bloodwork turned out well (WBC ok, renal normal, calcium normal), she's gained 3.6 lbs (up to 41.6), local vet FAXed to oncologist who said bring her tomorrow for 3rd chemo! Cold chilly rainy day, got one very brief run in AM before work, another one in late afternon after husband brought Ginger back from vet, I had to go to an evening (work related) meeting, fed and kenneled dogs before I left, got back let Ginger in and gave her evening meds. Ginger is dong SO well, I hope we won't get bad side effects from tomorrow's chemo (Apparently you can't tell in advance, sometimes even if a dog has had no side effects from a certain drug before, it may the next time. This is truly a day by day experience.) But whatever will happen will happen, I've had Ginger back now over a week with some beautiful moments ... she's run with the other dogs, helped Banshee catch a mouse, had wonderful naptime on her couch, eaten great delicacies (egg, liver, chicken, tripe) , and is curled up at my feet as I type. Her eyes are bright, her tail wags cheerfully, her ears perk at sights and sounds, her great heart and capacity for love and life are a blessing. Your continued prayers and support are truly appreciated, and needed, I can't ever thank you all enough.
